Mirrors
M. fallan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I want to see
Mirror mirror lie to me

Why don't I like the girl I see
The one who's standing right in front of me
Why don't I think before I speak
I should have listened to that voice inside me
I must be stupid must be crazy must be out of my mind
To say the kind of things I said last night

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I want to see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I want to see

Why did I let you walk away
When all I had to do was say I'm sorry
I let my pride get in the way
And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid, must be crazy, must be out of my mind
Now in the cold light of the day I realize

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

If only wishes could be dreams
And know my dreams could come true
There would be two us standing here in front of you
If you could show me that someone that I used to be
Bring back my baby, my baby to me

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I want to see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Mirror mirror lie to me




Show me what I want to see
Mirror mirror lie to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M. Fallan's "Mirrors" speak to the human experience of looking at oneself and being dissatisfied with what they see. The song begins with the repeated request for the mirror to "lie to me" and show the singer what they want to see, rather than the reality. The song explores the singer's insecurity and self-doubt in the face of the reflection they see, wondering why they don't like the person standing in front of them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has said hurtful things to their partner and pushed them away, but now regrets their actions.


The chorus repeatedly asks the mirror to bring their lost love back to them, and in the bridge, the singer wishes that their dreams of reconciliation could come true. The song ends with the same request for the mirror to show them what they want to see.


Overall, the lyrics use the metaphor of a mirror to explore the idea of self-reflection and the regret that can come from not seeing oneself clearly. The singer is asking for a way to reconcile their inner and outer selves and be reunited with their partner.
